HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE
DAILY REPORT #1050
PERIOD COVERED: 0700 EST
Daily Status Report as of 011/1200Z.
1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED:
1.1 Completed WF/PC-2 5190 (Observations of External Galaxies)
The WF/PC-2 was used to make images of a distant cluster of
galaxies
with a background quasi-stellar object. A total of seven images
were received and displayed. There were many recentering events
reported during each of the first five exposures. The last two
images were reported to be okay.
1.2 Completed WF/PC-2 4709 (WF/PC-2 Internal Monitor)
The WF/PC-2 was used to make a set of routine internal monitoring
exposures. These include K-spots and and internal flat images. A
total of 20 images were received and displayed. They were reported
to look okay.
1.3 Completed WF/PC-2 5240 (SMOV-WF/PC-2 Flat Field Calibration)
The WF/PC-2 was used to make a set of visual internal flat images.
Six images were received and displayed. They were reported to be
okay. One image still remains on the science tape recorder, and
will be analyzed later.
1.4 Completed FOC/96 4932 (Post-COSTAR FOC/96 Fine Aperture Location)
The Faint Object Camera was used to make images of cluster NGC-188
to
measure the location of the post-COSTAR f/96 aperture with respect
to the V2-V3 coordinate frame. Two images were taken, and no
anomalies were noted.
1.5 Completed FGS 4892 (Duplicity Among Stars in an External Cluster,
Cycle 3 High)
The FGSs were used to make astrometric observations of the target
star
UPGREEN-69 located in the Hyades open cluster. The FGS were
monitored during the scans, and no problems were seen in the
telemetry.
1.6 Completed FOC/96 5191 (High Resolution Ultraviolet Observations of
an
External Source)
The Faint Object Camera (f/96) was used to make deep ultraviolet
images of the globular cluster M-15 (aka, NGC-7078). The first
image was received in real time and displayed in the OSS. A
corrective SIP maneuver was successfully uplinked to the spacecraft.
Subsequent observations were reported to be as expected.
